A Carefully Chosen Gem

This time Rouge appears wearing round glasses with gold frames!
She loves gemstones from all over the world and has both a refined eye and solid knowledge, so she surely would not compromise even on a single pair of glasses frames.

It feels as though her unwavering aesthetic sense, which chooses only genuine brilliance, comes through even in her eyes.

And if you look closely… the hand mirror is decorated with a heart motif and bat wings! Could this be a custom-made piece too? The way she carries her own style through even the smallest accessory is so very Rouge, and absolutely wonderful.

It also makes you curious about the brand of the lipstick, or rouge, she’s holding in her other hand♪

A Secret Mission?

Though Rouge is famous as a treasure hunter specializing in jewels, she also has another side as a highly capable agent, or spy.

At times she helps Sonic and the others, at times she moves on Dr. Eggman’s side, and at other times she works in the shadows under the government… I think that mysterious position of hers is exactly what makes Rouge so irresistibly charming.

……Could it be that this Rouge is just before a major infiltration mission!?

“Not until I’ve made myself perfect, right?♪”
It feels like she would leave herself a wink in the mirror and murmur that so casually.

“Once I set my sights on a target, I never let it get away”――just like that creed says, she wears the kind of expression that says she’ll smartly “take” both her mission and her jewels. You can even picture her vanishing briskly into the darkness of the night.♪

What’s amazing about Rouge is that, no matter the situation, she never breaks from her principles and somehow keeps everything in the palm of her hand. That flawless, grown-up composure is simply captivating!

This Month’s Highlight!

Be sure to download this month’s wallpaper and enjoy Rouge’s refined mood!

On X, I’d be happy if you used the hashtag #ソニかつ to share your thoughts on the wallpaper or your guesses about the situation♪

To me, it looks like a scene where Rouge, right before a mission, is psyching herself up to outwit even her client (!) and get her hands on one of the world’s finest jewels!

See you again next time!
